Joe refuses to shake Nucky’s hand but accepts a bag of cash to compensate for the loss of Gyp and his hoods. Urbane Arnold is rewarded with a no-limit gambling spree.

Now that Nucky is separated from his wife Margaret (Kelly MacDonald), he freely indulges his attraction to sexy actresses, including one who hopes a hookup will lead to a Broadway role.

That strategy worked in Season 3 for free-spirited Billie Kent (Meg Steedle) -- until she was killed by a bomb meant for Nucky. This latest starlet stays alive, but she’s thrown out of Nucky’s hotel room by valet Eddie Kessler (Anthony Laciura).

Meanwhile, Albert “Chalky” White (Michael Kenneth Williams) is busy running the swanky Onyx Club when he’s confronted with a major problem -- the dead body of New York talent agent Dickie Pastor (Jeremy Bobb).

As for lovely yet drug-addicted Gillian Darmody (Gretchen Mol), she desperately needs money to reopen her Artemis Club brothel. Out-of-town businessman Roy Phillips (Ron Livingston) may be just the guy to save Gillian’s cathouse and share her bed.

Finally, disfigured Richard Harrow (Jack Huston) is weary of killing, both from his days as an Army sharpshooter and later as a mob assassin. Searching for a fresh start, he returns to his family farm in Wisconsin.

Richard hides his pistol in a woodpile and looks longingly at a warm stove inside the dilapidated farmhouse.

“Emma, I’ve come home,” he calls out to his twin sister.

However, instead of welcoming her long-gone brother with an embrace, Emma holds him at bay with a rifle.
